Description Not Available
The articles presented in this special section emanated from the researches of consortium members of the
National Agricultural Innovative Project (NAIP, Component 4) of the Indian Council of Agricultural
Research (ICAR), New Delhi. These researches have helped develop a soil information system (SIS). In
view of the changing scenario all over the world, the need of the hour is to get assistance from a host of researchers specialized in soils, crops, geology, geography and information technology to make proper use of
the datasets. Equipped with the essential knowledge of data storage and retrieval for management recommendations, these experts should be able to address the issues of land degradation, biodiversity, food security, climate change and ultimately arrive at an appropriate agricultural land-use planning. Moreover, as
the natural resource information is an essential prerequisite for monitoring and predicting global environmental
change with special reference to climate and land use options, the SIS needs to be a dynamic exercise to accommodate temporal datasets, so that subsequently it should result in the evolution of the soil information
technology. The database developed through this NAIP would serve as an example of the usefulness of the Consortium and the research initiative of ICAR involving experts from different fields to find out the potentials of the soils of humid and semi-arid bioclimatic systems of the country.
